This was done on Benj's car and was no issues and his driveway was not good. Almost 4 wheel drive territory .

Ahhh yes i forgot all about the 10mm lower with the mounts which is quite easy

But the k frame mod i am um certain if its a must i have read about someone just grinding a fun of the sump and getting away with it does this sound true though?

Grinding the fins works for the AU Engine into the EA/EB/ED. Even then it is very close and sometimes needs gentle persuasion of the Cross Bar to fit safely. It won't work with the BA Sump.

Here are a couple of pics from Benj's build. You can see how close the sump can sit to the cross bar on the front of the K Frame. You can also see how far forward the bar has been moved compared to a stock K Frame.

Even if you ground the fins, the sump would still hit on the cross bar if not moved forward.

You can see here how far forward the cross bar is from stock.

If you don't get a tradesman to do it. You don't want it cracking. Not something for the average DIY'er.

I am actually quite average welding have welded the trailer to narrow it the ratils i believe it was and they lasted if they didn't id be in big trouble

I'm just having doubts in me managing to plumb up intercooler piping hah

If you are an "average" welder, then consider getting a pro to do it.

Not something to stuff around with. If it breaks there could be a serious end to your new ride.

Ops I'm alright i just am not as good as you but this will be easy. .

Sorry to have hijacked the thread op

If you are confident go ahead, don't think it is easy. You will need to brace the K Frame before cutting out the old cross bar and ensure that everthing, repeat everything is ground back to bare clean metal.

I have confidence in what I weld because I have the trade papers and the skills to do it, if I wasn't sure of my skills I wouldn't attempt it, I would prep the job and get someone with the skills to do it.

Remember it is part of the subframe rigidity, it breaks, you probably crash.

Sorry to be blunt, but I have seen plenty of people who though things were easy and found out the hard way what happens just trying to save a couple of dollars.

If you go ahead with it yourself and need advice, please ask, myself and others will try and help.

hahaha post up all you want man.. I just did the photo bucket thing. all my pics i took are in there now what do i do so you guys can see them

till you get use to it .... go to the pic you want to put up here. when the pic comes up there is a "share the pic" box on the right. click on the box that says "IMG" [no need to right click], go back to what you were doing on ya mod page & paste the link that was copied. you 'may' need to 'shrink' pics coz if they are too big people won't be able to see the full pic when looking at page [they can be 'shrunk' on photobucket page]
